Based on the fact that your father had these jackets at all leads one to question why. Did your father make bullets? If yes, did he have a set of dies among his stuff? Did you also find any lead cores that would go inside the jackets? What was your fathers name and what time period would he...

Classes will be........ In decending order; Varmint for Score ( LV and HV Benchrest Rifles) Varmint Hunter ( same as a Hunter Rifle but no case size restrictions ) Hunter ( 10 lb., 6x scope, 47 gr. capacity, etc. by IBS rules ) Factory Custom ( modified and heavier factory rifles )...

Factory rifle guideline changes Thanks for all the comments and suggestions that many have given to help us have a fair and well run competition. We have been listening and not being too hasty to respond. We wanted to give this process time to work properly before making any changes. And, we...

Sharpshooter, I agree with your analysis that the distance from the trigger to the bolt face is the variable that can make the difference between a stock being legal or not. If an action is real long, the stock may be measured as legal. Or if the action is real short, the same stock may be...

Yes From the centerline of the bore you must go down at least 4" on a 13 1/4 " length of pull (from the trigger shoe to the back of the butt plate), then from that point go forward to a point at no more than 18" forward from the bolt face in order to make the flattest allowable angle. Now here...

My advice is this....... At some point the "powers that be" will decide that this uncertainty is not good, and when they do they will likely make rules that are explained well and that can be easily followed. When that happens it is likely also that the new rules will be very similar to the...

Reply... See my other thread For the sake of added discussion on this topic, I have brought a thread back to the top that I started earlier this year regarding the same topic. I hope this will bring more enlightenment to the subject. Sincerely, Larry

Stock rear angle I am bringing this thread back to the top to help answer the questions presented on the other ongoing thread of the same topic. I feel that making the angle on the bottom of the stock a certain number of degrees of angle as it relates to he bore and at a minimum of 4 inches...

Congratulations Hal Hal, You really came thorugh with flying colors this year. I saw your set-up at the IBS Nationals and how you are able to use it to best advantage. You have really put together a good set-up, spent the necessary time in practice and gone to the matches where you have used...

It is our intention to conduct the matches as much the same as possible weather the match is IBS sanctioned or not. That means if most of the matches are by IBS rules then the remainder should also. However, each club where matches are held is ultimately the final voice in the way the match is...

While Tom Majewski is trying to get his computer sorted out, he has asked me to post the "up to the minute" plans for the Michigan Score Challenge for 2009. There has been a lot of planning and scheduling with the 4 ranges involved and we have tried to step around a lot of other matches of...

Thanks for all the positive comments and suggestions. Regarding the bonus points for attendance, there are some of the better shooters that shoot group matches and cannot be at every one of the score shoots in this challenge. Of coarse, if they miss a match, they will not get bonus points...

Well, here it is after much discussion and trepidation. Attatched is the final preliminary, much to be discussed and hope it works guidelines for the Michigan State IBS 2009 Score Challenge.

If you want to make it even more interesting, go to the 17 lb. class and go to 7 shot groups.:rolleyes::eek::D:D

Sporter change...not! I used to think that in order for the sporter class to be viable that it had to be different too. Then I found a new way of thinking of it that has helped to make it acceptable and proper in my simple mind. Look at it this way; when you are competing for a national...

There is a 100 yd. and 200 yd. score match at Holton, MI on Sunday Oct. 12 starting at 9:00 AM. This should be a beautiful way to end the shooting season here in Michigan. The colors are gorgeous right now, and Holton is a great place to shoot.:) With 30 benches there will be only one...

Adrian, I have marks around the outside of my tuner just like a clock face. As an example, if the DA goes up from 1200 to 1500, I just look on my chart that I have all made up based on my practice in varying conditions, and I turn the tuner the appropriate amount and direction, in this case...

I have been using the Beggs tuner on both my 30GR and 30BR, and I love it. Just shot a 25X at 100 last Saturday and finished 4 th at the IBS Score Nationals. I go to the matches all pre loaded and all I have to do to stay in tune is watch the density altitude and change the tuner as the DA...

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I had a good day. For those interested in the 30GR. It is built on the 6.5 Grendel case and then simply expanded to .308. My reamer has a 35 degree shoulder angle, mostly because of the shorter neck and because of the small shoulder compared to the 30BR...

Jim, I see that ssome of the things are somewhat constant, but there is always the variables. Length of pull is measured from trigger shoe to back of butt plate. The trigger shoe can be movable on some triggers. The length of barrel ahead of the boltface is fine, but the length of the...
